The steep wooded valleys of the Rhine and Moselle have long been a favourite with walkers and this short holiday includes interesting trails and fabulous views in both valleys. Spend your days walking high above the mighty Rhine, lifeblood of this region, where seemingly every hill is crowned by an ancient castle with a story to tell, whilst all around there are lush green valleys and vineyards snaking their way down towards the river.
In tiny picturesque villages and riverside towns full of cobbled streets and halftimbered houses, you’ll fi nd wine cellars alive with the sound of music and laughter and people enjoying tasting the local fare. Back at the hotel, round off your days with a well-deserved soak in the pool or spa, and a hearty traditional dinner.
